Okay, now I am investigating these organic mattresses. Every site I go to talks

about natural latex. Hmmmm, guess I need to learn what that means. I do know

at one of our schools it is latex free because of allergies. Doesn't it smell?

Every site says it doesn't and it is all natural. So, they must mean something

I need to learn about. Anybody know what the heck natural latex means or know

about it? Here's one of the many sites that talk about it:

Have any of you tried the organic mattresses? They had them on Ophra a few

weeks ago when she was having a " Green " show. They look like a normal mattress

(pillow top or normal) different sizes.

Here's a site that talks about it. Guess it is different from regular latex.

Never heard of it though. Pretty interesting.

I love an all latex mattress. There are extremely comfortable but it

has a protein in it that some people are allergic too. I don't know

where latex comes from though.

Branislav,

You can also buy just any inexpensive mattress and buy plastic

zippered encasing for it that is sold for people with allergies. That

will protect it, then just throw the plastic encasing away if you move

it to a less toxic place, but still ...don't sleep anywhere toxic...

You can buy plastic encasing for mattress over the internet and also

at most department stores and discount stores. Get the kind that

encases the entire mattress. They sell just toppers also.

Latex is soooo comfortable. I have some friends who have had one for

many years and my neighbor sells them. I'd like to have one BUT now I

love my air bed and it's so cheap. You can get an airbed standard

size mattress that standard sheets will fit and you can use them in

platform beds.

about people being sensitive to the protein in the latex.
